In 1861, Thomas Wilson first established its hardware store at 400 Place Jacques Cartier and for over 155 years, this building stood at the very heart of the Old Montreal. In 1970, the iconic French restaurant Chez Queux moved in and would remain there for well over 40 years.
Today it is our turn to leave our mark on this legendary Montreal building. We welcome all who come by, providing food the way we like it, simple, fresh and delicious. After a long day of sightseeing or while on a break from your bicycle ride in the Old Port, drop by Comptoir 400, we are always happy too see (and feed) you!
Comptoir 400 in Old Montreal comes across as a lively spot with a pleasant terrace and a versatile menu that covers pizzas burgers poutine and seafood. Several dishes stand out including a great Margherita pizza and a tasty arugula pizza along with mussels and fish and chips, though some portions feel inconsistent and timing can vary. The service is described as friendly and attentive by many, while others report slower or less reliable service and some concerns about value and presentation. The location and ambiance are praised for being welcoming and suitable for a casual meal in a tourist area, and while many reviews recommend the place, the experience can differ depending on the time and staff.
Great experience, fantastic food. My Moules-Frites was exactly what I imagined in my head. Poutine was amazing as well. The atmosphere was top notch due to the location.
On a commandé un pizza & elle se défaisais en morceaux, on a eu 3 serveurs dans la soirée & les serveurs sont pas attentif. Il ont de tables disponibles & il n'y a pas beaucoup de temps d'attente. Prix régulières, pas cher.
Une superbe expérience au Comptoir 400 au Vieux-Port! L'ambiance est chaleureuse, la nourriture excellente & bien présentée. Un énorme merci à Yassine, qui a rendu notre soirée encore plus agréable avec son service impeccable & son sourire. Professionnel, attentif & toujours disponible pour répondre à nos demandes - il a vraiment fait la différence. Je recommande fortement ce restaurant & je reviendrai sans hésiter!

We went for lunch with my two children, we sat on the terrace, my son, who is autistic, got stung by a wasp, & the staff was amazing, he was screaming & crying & they brought all kinds of stuff to try & help him ( vinegar, honey & a bag of ice). Even the owner came over to make sure we were ok. Then they sent my son a big bowl of ice cream. I really appreciated their concern & how the went above & beyond & where sincerely concerned. The best customer service. Thank you so much.
Nous avons pris le hamburger 400. Très savoureux avec des frites croustillantes. La salade d'Athènes aussi. Très grosse portion. Des prix raisonnable pour le vieux port.
Le burger de mon épouse était bon, mais je suis très décu de mon sandwich de viande fumée. Cela semblait etre de la viande provenant d'une enveloppe vendue à l'épicerie. Très peu de viande & servi sur pain ciabata & non de seigle. 25$ pour à peu près 3 tranches de viande, c'est cher.
Salade aux crevettes très généreuse en roquette au détriment malheureusement des autres ingrédients mentionnés dans le menu, pour le prix (29 dollars le kil de roquette) c'est décevant.
